If you're into the small screen adaptations of fantasy classics, you will be happy to hear that Neil Gaiman and Akiva Goldsman will turn Mervyn Peake's five book saga GORMENGHAST into television series with Free Mantle Media. As 'Deadline' reports a great battle was lead for the rights over the unusual fairy tale which follows the inhabitants of Castle GORMENGHAST a sprawling, decaying, gothic structure with a raft of characters including Titus, the heir to the throne of the House of Groan, scheming kitchen boy Steerpike and twin sisters Cora and Clarice. Almost twenty years ago BBC had a series on it with very young Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

I felt that for REIGN but not for 100 :) Probably because I watched all the seasons so far and followed the progress of the characters. It is a very unique series, I'm only annoyed by some of the characters and some of the actors.
